On August 23, 2025, the international cultural and art festival "COLORS FOR PEACE" will be inaugurated in Rhens, near Koblenz.

The focus is on ART in the open air, set against the backdrop of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Upper Middle Rhine Valley. Hundreds of artists and participants will each receive a white, 2.6 x 0.8 m flag, measuring 2.6 x 0.8 meters, to be transformed into a unique artwork. These creations will be displayed along a 2.5 km stretch of the Rhine River as a message of peace.

This is truly an open invitation to everyone who wants to contribute to the theme of peace. The selection of contributions will be independent of fame, religion, nationality, gender, or social status. This unprecedented event, which will attract thousands of visitors over two festival days, offers a new perspective on art while simultaneously sending a powerful message for peace.

The festival was founded by Brazilian artist Lúcia Hinz, who has lived and worked in Germany and Belgium since 1989. Alongside her artistic endeavors, her career is marked by her commitment to social causes, particularly advocating for equality and supporting people in vulnerable situations. Through the founding of COLORS FOR PEACE e.V. Lúcia has created a dynamic space for artists from around the world to come together.

At its core, the festival is about PEACE, with all participants dedicated to promoting peace in all aspects of life. In addition to protesting the current wars, the festival emphasizes the importance of peace in the workplace, in families, and in interpersonal relationships. This will be explored in discussions with numerous expert guests.

A colorful celebration of unity and hope on the banks of the Rhine in Rhens, the festival aims to raise awareness for peace while also fostering artistic, tourist, and economic initiatives in the Middle Rhine region.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to social projects supporting disadvantaged women and children.

Furthermore, as part of an art competition, three outstanding works by participating artists will be evaluated and awarded by an international jury.
